DBE/SBE Programs

TJPA became a grantee of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in 2006. Recipients of funding from FTA must establish a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program under federal regulations to ensure that DBEs have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in contracts. TJPA established its DBE Program in 2006. Our program is race-neutral, meaning that we do not place binding DBE goals on contracts. However, TJPA strongly encourages DBE participation on all contracts.

In 2009, the TJPA Board adopted a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program as well. Under the SBE Program, TJPA places enforceable SBE goals on contracts as appropriate. Meeting the goal or demonstrating good faith efforts to do so is a condition of contract award.

TJPA accepts certifications from the following programs in its SBE Program:

TJPA participates in the Business Outreach Committee (BOC), a working group of San Francisco Bay Area transit and transportation agency staff focused on outreach and assistance to DBEs and other small companies. For information on contract opportunities at the various BOC agencies, read the latest BOC Newsletter.

Contractor/Vendor Forms & Materials

DBE/SBE Forms

Every contractor, regardless of DBE or SBE participation on a contract, must complete and submit a Progress Payment Report with every invoice. There are additional forms to report payments to subcontractors and contract closeout. Instructions for filling out the forms are provided. If you have any questions, please contact your project manager at the TJPA for assistance.

Every TJPA contractor and vendor must provide the following forms in order to be added to the TJPA Vendor List. Only current vendors and contractors are on the TJPA Vendor List; please do not send requests to be added to the Vendor List if you do not have a current contract with or order from TJPA.
